We need some more stuff like that, and then we need to get to using it.

[ ... ]

Man, something that could pinpoint whoever has spilled blood here would be helpful. Even if it was everything from cuts to murder, it'd narrow the pool at least.

[haha]

[for some reason Akira stiffens at that. he looks away, hand drifting up to the bandages around his eye, fingertips brushing against it lightly]

[. . .]

[quietly]

. . . might not narrow the pool as much as you want it to if you keep it that general. But. . . it'd be something.

[ he just looks at him flatly ]

I know it's not gonna be as clean cut as all that. But it'd narrow the pool of people to apply evidence to.

[a breath, and he forces himself to relax, hand dropping to his lap]

Yeah. And at this point, we should really use anything we have on us to help us figure things out.

[looking over at Ash again]

Do you have an item that can do that?

Wouldn't it be amazing if I did? But no.

[ alas. ]

[a tiny huff]

Just wishful thinking, then.

Where's the person out there who can wish one helpful item into existence a week?

Taking a vacation, probably.

[oh. this reminds him]

I asked Winter about the crayons last night.

Fuck them in particular.

[ not to mince words. ]

... Oh? What's the story there then?

They really did just name themselves after crayons because they felt like it.

[HE IS DYING]

[ there's just a snort and then ash doubles over, laughing. ]

I'm gonna call them every other damn crayon in the box.

You should. Winter absolutely deserves to be called "Mummy's Tomb."

If they try to beat me up over it, I'm throwing you under the bus.

I'll happily take the blame. They don't scare me.

Yeah, fear isn't the word I'd use.

[ thirsty? would we call akira thirst--ok i'm done. ]

Seriously though, there's no other secret meaning? They just picked a crayon and though "oh shit that works"?

[AAAAAAAAAH]

Apparently. Winter had theirs on them, so I'd bet that Shadows and Heart kept theirs, too.

... Wonder why. If you're just taking the crayon names, why take the crayon itself?

I got the feeling it was just because Winter was sentimental.

[shrugs!]

I don't know if it had any deeper meaning than that.

You sure they're not hiding all their secrets in those?

Where would they hide them? Written underneath the crayon labels?

Maybe. Wouldn't think of looking for secrets written in crayon on the inside of a crayon, would you?

Hah. Good point.

I'll table that theory for now. Winter showed me their crayon, but I didn't really look at it that closely.

[ he doesn't really think that but tbh? he'll take anything right now. ]

...

Didn't thnk to, or they didn't let you?

Didn't think to.

[HE DIDN'T ASK B/C I DIDN'T ASK]

We'll put a pin in that one for the moment then. Something to ask before the week's out.
